Johnson, of the 2200 block of North Drexel Avenue, is being treated for diabetes and depression. Neighbors and police said Johnson, who is white, had feuded with several neighborhood youths, most of whom are black.

Johnson was arrested Aug. 26 on charges of intimidation and criminal recklessness after two boys, ages 12 and 13, accused him of pulling a gun on them. According to a police report, Johnson also used a racial epithet.

Bond was set at $50,000. But because of an apparent administrative error at the Arrestee Processing Center in Downtown Indianapolis, he was released the next day.

IPD environmental Officer Bradley Craig went to Johnson’s home about noon Thursday because of a report of junk in the front yard.
